Renee Nicole Good, the woman identified by the Minnesota Star Tribune as the person fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026
Name & Age: She was identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good.
Life & Family: Good lived in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area, reportedly with her partner. Her mother, Donna Ganger, told the Star Tribune that Good was a compassionate, caring person who had spent much of her life helping others and wasn’t involved in confrontations with ICE agents. Personal Background: Local reporting and social profiles describe her as a mother, partner, poet, and writer. She also had a young child; her former husband died in 2023, and Good’s family is now focused on caring for their grandchild.
What Happened in the Shooting
Incident: During a federal immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis, an ICE agent shot and killed Good. The shooting occurred during daylight in a residential area where ICE was conducting a large operation.
Federal Account: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE have claimed Good “weaponized her vehicle” and attempted to hit officers, describing the agent’s actions as defensive. Federal officials have defended the shooting as justified under their account.
Contrasting Views: Local officials, community members, and residents dispute that narrative, saying the available video shows Good trying to leave the scene and not posing a clear threat. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and others have called for accountability and for ICE to leave the city.
